The "Give Me An Answer" ministry began as an outgrowth of the dialogues
Cliffe Knechtle has had with students on various university campuses
throughout the United States. Stuart joined his dad Cliffe in 2015 and
they've teamed up to do this together. These universities include Tennessee
Maine, Harvard, MIT, Florida, University of Texas, Texas State, Arizona,
Princeton, Michigan State, UCLA, UC Davis, Berkeley, Stanford, Oregon State,
and UMass. Amherst, Illinois.
Cliffe spoke on these campuses in front of the Student Union or Library at
noon for five to ten minutes. At the close of his initial remarks, he'd open up
the time for questions and answers, which usually turned into a two to four
hour dialogue with students.
His crowd size ranged from 25 - 500 students at a time, and between classes,
new students would join the discussion. This is an extremely effective way to
reach a large number of university students with the Gospel of Christ.
